My puppy will be about 6 pounds when I get him, what size crate should I get? Can I get a medium sized crate and put something in it to take up extra space while he's young and remove it when he gets to be big?
Full Question:
When getting a crate, being that my puppy will be about 6 pounds when I get him, what size crate should I get? He will grow rapidly (Rottweiler) and I may be spending a fortune on crates to accommodate his growth. Can I get a medium sized crate and put something in it to take up extra space while he's young and remove it when he gets to be big enough? 

There are some of the wire crates that actually come with a divider you can install to partition the crate off. I believe they are made by Midwest. You could google that for more info.
I’ve used a large cardboard box, and secured it in the back of a large crate for my puppies as a “homemade” divider.
I hope this helps,
